Sorry for the late notice, but we just got word from Dr. Munroe and unfortunately she is feeling quite ill...therefore, the SCCO meeting scheduled for tomorrow night at 7:30pm in Pacific Hall 3500 has been CANCELLED. Dr. Munroe and Insight apologize for the cancellation. We will work on rescheduling her visit and let you all know when that has been set up. Until then, good luck on finals!

SCCO Meeting!!!

Hey All,

Hope all your midterms are going well. SCCO is finally rescheduled to Thursday, November 29th at 7:30pm in Pac Hall 3500 (same room as the Berkeley meeting). Dr. Munroe will be going over SCCO's OD program, student life and the admissions process. There's going to be free food and refreshments, so hope you can all make it.

Also, Dr. Munroe started a facebook group for prospective optometry students of SCCO. She sends out announcements and updates about SCCO through facebook. If you don't really go on facebook, join it anyways, so you'll get updates and information about SCCO. To join, just follow the attached instructions or search for SCCO in facebook.com.

Hope to see you all on Nov. 29th. Have a good thanksgiving and 4 day weekend!

We will be leaving Friday night, Oct. 19th and coming back Oct. 20 after the conference. This is a great opportunity to meet other pre-optometry students from other colleges, see Berkeley's optometry school, and to bond with Insight members. It would be great if we can get as many people to go as possible. However, space is very limited, so please email us at insightucsd@gmail.com if you are interested in going by Oct. 8th, so we can figure out the cost and RSVP to Berkeley as a group.
